Clifton J. Johnson, 32, was charged with molestation of a juvenile after the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office investigated reports Nov. 17 that a child was molested, according to a press release from SLPSO.

During the investigation, the child stated that Johnson assaulted her on two separate occasions while he was in their home. Johnson and the child are not related.

Johnson attempted to discard evidence at the scene afterward, the press release says. After being questioned by detectives, Johnson was arrested and processed at the parish jail.
